Key Terms

controlled company, ExchangeCo Shares, broker non-votes, Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, +2 more

6 terms

controlled company regulatory

"For purposes of the Nasdaq Listing Rules, we are a “controlled company.”"

A controlled company is a publicly traded firm where one shareholder or a small group holds enough voting power to determine board members and major strategic choices. For investors this matters because control can speed decision-making and protect long-term plans, but it also raises the risk that majority owners will favor their own interests over minority shareholders, reducing outside oversight—like a family-owned restaurant that sold shares but the family still calls the shots.

ExchangeCo Shares financial

"all shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exchange of any issued and outstanding exchangeable shares of the Company’s subsidiary 1000045728 Ontario Inc. (“ExchangeCo Shares”)"

broker non-votes regulatory

"These un-voted shares are counted as “broker non-votes.”"

Broker non-votes occur when a brokerage firm is unable to vote on a shareholder’s behalf during a company election or decision because the shareholder has not given specific voting instructions, and the broker is not allowed or chooses not to vote on certain matters. They are important because they can affect the outcome of votes, especially when the results are close, by effectively reducing the total number of votes cast.

Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act regulatory

"we are exempt from the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act"

emerging growth company regulatory

"We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups (“JOBS”) Act."

An emerging growth company is a recently public or smaller public firm that qualifies for temporary, lighter regulatory and disclosure rules to reduce the cost and effort of being public. For investors, it means the company may provide less historical financial detail and face fewer reporting requirements than larger firms, so it can grow more quickly but also carries higher uncertainty—like buying a promising early-stage product with fewer user reviews.

short-term incentive plan (STIP) financial

"Represents payments pursuant to our short-term incentive plan (“STIP”) for the respective years."

PROXY STATEMENT

To Be Held on June 11, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time

GENERAL INFORMATION

The Proxy Materials for our 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) of Rumble Inc. (“Rumble” or the “Company”) include the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the “Notice”), Notice of Annual Meeting, this Proxy Statement, and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 (collectively, the “proxy materials”) are first being furnished by and on behalf of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board of Directors”) on or about April 24, 2026.

We were a special purpose acquisition company called CF Acquisition Corp. VI (“CFVI”) prior to the closing of a business combination (the “Business Combination”) on September 16, 2022. The Business Combination represents the transactions contemplated by the business combination agreement, dated December 1, 2021 (the “Business Combination Agreement”), whereby Rumble Inc., a corporation formed under the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada (“Legacy Rumble”), became a wholly owned subsidiary of CFVI. In connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, CFVI was renamed “Rumble Inc.” and Legacy Rumble was renamed Rumble Canada Inc.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THESE PROXY MATERIALS AND VOTING

Why did I receive a notice regarding the availability of proxy materials on the internet instead of a full set of proxy materials?

Pursuant to the rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), we have elected to provide access to our proxy materials over the internet. Accordingly, we have sent you the Notice because our Board of Directors is soliciting your proxy to vote at the Annual Meeting, to be held on Thursday, June 11, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time. All stockholders will have the ability to access the proxy materials on the website referred to in the Notice or request to receive a printed set of the proxy materials. Instructions on how to access the proxy materials over the internet or to request a printed copy may be found in the Notice.

The Notice will provide instructions as to how a stockholder of record may access and review the proxy materials on the website referred to in the Notice or, alternatively, how to request that a copy of the proxy materials, including a proxy card, be sent by mail or email to the stockholder of record. The Notice will also provide voting instructions. Please note that, while our proxy materials are available at the website referenced in the Notice, and our Notice of Annual Meeting, Proxy Statement and Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 are available on our website, no other information contained on either website is incorporated by reference in or considered to be a part of this document.

We intend to mail the Notice on or about April 24, 2026 to all stockholders of record who are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. The proxy materials will be made available to stockholders on the internet on the same date.

Will I receive any other proxy materials by mail?

No, you will not receive any other proxy materials by mail unless you request a paper copy of the proxy materials. Instructions on how to access the proxy materials over the internet or to request a paper copy may be found in the Notice. In addition, the notice contains instructions on how you may request access to proxy materials in printed form by mail or electronically on an ongoing basis.

Why is Rumble conducting the Annual Meeting virtually?

The Annual Meeting will be held in a virtual format to reach a greater number of our stockholders.

When is the record date for the Annual Meeting?

The Board of Directors set the close of business on April 16, 2026 as the record date for the Annual Meeting (the “Record Date”).

How do I attend, participate in, and ask questions during the Annual Meeting?

You are entitled to participate in the Annual Meeting only if you were a stockholder or a joint holder as of the close of business on the Record Date or if you hold a valid proxy for the Annual Meeting. You will be able to attend the annual meeting online and submit your questions before and during the meeting by visiting virtualshareholdermeeting.com/RUM2026. You will also be able to vote your shares electronically at the Annual Meeting.

To participate in the Annual Meeting, you will need the 16-digit control number included on your Notice, on your proxy card or on the instructions that accompanied your proxy materials.

In addition, stockholders who attend and participate in the virtual Annual Meeting will also have an opportunity to submit questions via the Internet during the live Q&A portion of the meeting. The Company will use reasonable efforts to answer all questions pertinent to meeting matters during the Annual Meeting, subject to time constraints and the rules of conduct for the Annual Meeting. If we receive questions on similar topics, we may group such questions and provide a single response.

What if I have technical difficulties or trouble accessing the Annual Meeting?

We will have technicians ready to assist you with any technical difficulties you may have accessing the virtual meeting. If you encounter any difficulties accessing the virtual meeting during the check-in or meeting time, please call the numbers shown on the virtual meeting landing page.

Who can vote at the Annual Meeting?

Only stockholders of record at the close of business on the Record Date will be entitled to vote online at the Annual Meeting. As of the Record Date, we had 435,230,606 shares of common stock outstanding and entitled to vote, consisting of 215,749,009 shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”), 123,690,477 shares of Class C common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class C Common Stock”) and 95,791,120 shares of Class D common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class D Common Stock”). Each share of Class A Common Stock and Class C Common Stock is entitled to one vote per share, and each share of Class D Common Stock is entitled to 11.2663 votes per share on any matter presented to stockholders at the Annual Meeting. The holders of Class A Common Stock, Class C Common Stock, and Class D Common Stock will vote together as a single class on all matters to be presented to stockholders at the Annual Meeting (other than the election of the Class A Director (as defined below)).

Information as to how to obtain the list of stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will be available during the ten days preceding the Annual Meeting on the website for the Annual Meeting: www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/RUM2026.

Stockholder of Record: Shares Registered in Your Name

If, on the Record Date, your shares were registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company, N.A., then you are a stockholder of record. As a stockholder of record, you may vote online during the Annual Meeting or by proxy in advance. Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we urge you to vote your shares by proxy in advance of the Annual Meeting through the Internet, by telephone or by completing and returning a printed proxy card that you may request or that we may elect to deliver at a later time to ensure your vote is counted.

Beneficial Owner: Shares Registered in the Name of a Broker, Bank or Other Agent

If, on the Record Date, your shares were held not in your name, but rather in an account at a broker, bank or other agent, then you are the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name” and the Notice is being forwarded to you by that organization. The organization holding your account is considered to be the stockholder of record for purposes of voting at the Annual Meeting. As a beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, bank or other agent regarding how to vote the shares in your account. You are also invited to attend the Annual Meeting. However, because you are not the stockholder of record, you may not vote your shares online at the Annual Meeting unless you request and obtain a valid legal proxy from your broker, bank or other agent. Check with your broker, bank, or other agent, and follow the instructions you receive during the registration process prior to the Annual Meeting.

Table of Contents

What are the proposals on which I’m voting?

There are two matters scheduled for a vote:

• Proposal No. 1 — To elect six directors to hold office until the 2027 Annual Meeting of Stockholders; and

• Proposal No. 2 — To ratify the selection of Baker Tilly US, LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026.

What if another matter is properly brought before the meeting?

The Board of Directors knows of no other matters that will be presented for consideration at the Annual Meeting. If any other matters are properly brought before the Annual Meeting, it is the intention of the persons named in the accompanying proxy, Maurice F. Edelson, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary, and Sergey Milyukov, Associate General Counsel, to vote on those matters in accordance with their best judgment. As of the date of this Proxy Statement, the Board of Directors did not know of any other business to be presented for consideration at the Annual Meeting.

What are my voting options and how do I vote?

With regard to the election of directors, you may either vote “For” the nominees to the Board of Directors or you may “Withhold” your vote for any nominee that you specify. With regard to the ratification of the appointment of Baker Tilly as our independent auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026, you may vote “For” or “Against” or abstain from voting. The procedures for voting are as follows:

Stockholder of Record: Shares Registered in Your Name

If you are a stockholder of record, you may vote (1) online during the Annual Meeting or (2) in advance of the Annual Meeting by proxy through the internet, by telephone or by using a proxy card that you may request or that we may elect to deliver at a later time. Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we urge you to vote by proxy to ensure your vote is counted. You may still attend the Annual Meeting and vote online even if you have already voted by proxy.

• To vote during the Annual Meeting, stockholders may do so by visiting the following website: www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/RUM2026. Even if you plan to participate in the Annual Meeting, we recommend that you also vote in advance using one of the methods described below so that your vote will be counted if you later decide not to participate in the Annual Meeting.

• To vote in advance of the Annual Meeting through the internet, stockholders who have received a notice of the internet availability of the proxy materials by mail may submit proxies over the internet by following the instructions on the notice. Stockholders who have received notice of the internet availability of the proxy materials by e-mail may submit proxies over the internet by following the instructions included in the e-mail. Stockholders who have received a paper copy of a proxy card or voting instruction card by mail may submit proxies over the internet by following the instructions on the proxy card or voting instruction card.

• To vote in advance of the Annual Meeting by telephone, stockholders of record who live in the U.S. or Canada may submit proxies by telephone by calling 1-800-690-6903 and following the instructions. Stockholders of record who have received a notice of the internet availability of the proxy materials by mail or by email must have the control number that appears on their notice available when voting.

• To vote in advance of the Annual Meeting by mail, stockholders who have received a paper copy of a proxy card or voting instruction card by mail may submit proxies by completing, signing and dating their proxy card or voting instruction card and mailing it in the accompanying pre-addressed envelope.

Table of Contents

Beneficial Owner: Shares Registered in the Name of Broker, Bank or Other Agent

If you are a beneficial owner of shares registered in the name of your broker, bank, or other agent, you should receive a Notice containing voting instructions from that organization rather than from us. Simply follow the voting instructions in the Notice to ensure that your vote is counted. To vote online at the Annual Meeting, you must obtain a valid legal proxy from your broker, bank or other agent. Follow the instructions from your broker, bank or other agent included with these proxy materials, or contact your broker, bank or other agent to request a proxy form.

Internet proxy voting may be provided to allow you to vote your shares online, with procedures designed to ensure the authenticity and correctness of your proxy vote instructions. However, please be aware that you must bear any costs associated with your internet access, such as usage charges from internet access providers and telephone companies.

What is the deadline for voting my shares?

If you hold shares as the stockholder of record, your vote by proxy must be received before the polls close during the annual meeting.

If you are the beneficial owner of shares held through a broker, trustee, or other nominee, please follow the voting instructions provided by your broker, trustee or nominee.

How many votes do I have?

On each matter to be voted upon, you have one vote for each share of Class A Common Stock or Class C Common Stock that you own as of the Record Date. Shares of Class D Common Stock are entitled to 11.2663 votes per share on any matter presented to stockholders at the Annual Meeting (other than the election of the Class A Director (as defined below)). All shares of Class D Common Stock that are outstanding are beneficially owned by Chris Pavlovski, our Founder and Chief Executive Officer.

What happens if I do not vote?

Stockholder of Record: Shares Registered in Your Name

If you are a stockholder of record and do not vote by completing your proxy card, through the internet, by telephone or online at the Annual Meeting, your shares will not be voted.

Beneficial Owner: Shares Registered in the Name of Broker, Bank or Other Agent

If you are a beneficial owner and do not instruct your broker, bank or other agent how to vote your shares, the question of whether your broker, bank or other agent will still be able to vote your shares depends on whether the particular proposal is deemed to be a “routine” matter. Brokers, banks and other agents can use their discretion to vote “uninstructed” shares with respect to matters that are considered to be “routine,” but not with respect to “non-routine” matters. Under applicable rules and interpretations, “non-routine” matters are matters that may substantially affect the rights or privileges of stockholders, such as mergers, stockholder proposals, elections of directors (even if not contested), executive compensation (including any advisory stockholder votes on executive compensation and on the frequency of stockholder votes on executive compensation), and certain corporate governance proposals, even if management-supported. Accordingly, your broker, bank or other agent may not vote your shares on Proposal No. 1 without your instructions, but may vote your shares on Proposal No. 2 even in the absence of your instructions. We encourage you to provide voting instructions to your broker, bank or other agent. This ensures that your shares will be voted at the Annual Meeting according to your instructions. You should receive directions from your broker, bank or other agent about how to submit your proxy to them at the time you receive this Proxy Statement.

Table of Contents

If you are a beneficial owner of shares held in “street name”, in order to ensure your shares are voted in the way you would prefer, you must provide voting instructions to your broker, bank or other agent by the deadline provided in the materials you receive from your broker, bank or other agent.

What if I return a proxy card or otherwise vote but do not make specific choices?

If you sign and return a paper proxy card or otherwise vote without giving specific voting instructions, then the proxy holders will vote your shares in the manner recommended by our Board of Directors on all matters presented in this Proxy Statement and as the proxy holders may determine in their discretion with respect to any other matters properly presented for a vote at the Annual Meeting.

Who is paying for this proxy solicitation?

We will pay for the entire cost of soliciting proxies. In addition to these proxy materials, our directors and employees may also solicit proxies in person or by other means of communication. Directors and employees will not be paid any additional compensation for soliciting proxies. We may also reimburse brokers, banks and other agents for the cost of forwarding proxy materials to beneficial owners.

What does it mean if I receive more than one Notice?

If you receive more than one Notice, your shares may be registered in more than one name or in different accounts. Please follow the voting instructions on each of the Notices you receive to ensure that all of your shares are voted.

Can I revoke my vote after submitting my proxy?

Stockholder of Record: Shares Registered in Your Name

Yes. You can revoke your proxy at any time before the final vote at the Annual Meeting. If you are the record holder of your shares, you may revoke your proxy at any time before the final vote at the Annual Meeting in any one of the following ways:

• You may submit another properly completed proxy card with a later date.

• You may grant a subsequent proxy by telephone or through the internet.

• You may send a timely written notice that you are revoking your proxy to our Corporate Secretary at Rumble Inc., 444 Gulf of Mexico Drive, Longboat Key, FL 34228.

• You may attend the Annual Meeting and vote online. Simply attending the Annual Meeting will not, by itself, revoke your proxy.

Your most current proxy card or telephone or internet proxy is the one that is counted.

Beneficial Owner: Shares Registered in the Name of Broker, Bank or Other Agent

If your shares are held by your broker, bank or other agent, you should follow the instructions provided by your broker, bank or other agent.

How are votes counted?

Votes will be counted by the inspector of elections appointed for the meeting, who will separately count, for Proposal No. 1 to elect directors, votes “For,” “Withhold,” and broker non-votes; and for Proposal No. 2, votes “For” and “Against,” abstentions and, if applicable, broker non-votes. Abstentions are not applicable with respect to Proposal 1. Abstentions will have the same effect as “Against” votes for Proposal No. 2. Broker non-votes will have no effect on Proposal 1 as further explained below under “How many votes are needed to approve each proposal?”. Proposal No. 2 is considered a “routine” matter and, accordingly, if you hold your shares in street name and do not provide voting instructions to your

Table of Contents

broker, bank, or other agent that holds your shares, your broker, bank, or other agent has discretionary authority to vote your shares on Proposal 2. As a result, broker non-votes are not expected to exist in connection with Proposal No. 2.

What are “broker non-votes”?

As discussed above, when a beneficial owner of shares held in street name does not give voting instructions to their broker, bank, or other securities intermediary holding their shares as to how to vote on matters deemed to be “non-routine” under stock exchange rules, the broker, bank, or other such agent cannot vote the shares. These un-voted shares are counted as “broker non-votes.” Proposal No. 1 is considered to be “non-routine” under stock exchange rules and we therefore expect broker non-votes to exist in connection with those proposals. Proposal No. 2 is a “routine” matter and therefore broker non-votes are not expected to exist in connection with that proposal.

Note that whether a proposal is considered “routine” or “non-routine” is subject to stock exchange rules and final determination by the stock exchange. Even with respect to routine matters, some brokers may choose not to exercise discretionary voting authority. As a result, we urge you to direct your broker, trustee, or other nominee on how to vote your shares on all proposals to ensure your vote is counted.

How many votes are needed to approve each proposal?

For Proposal No. 1, the election of directors, pursuant to our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), one director designated as the Class A Director by our Board of Directors, which director nominee is Jerry Naumoff (the “Class A Director”), will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast in respect of the shares of our Class A Common Stock by the stockholders that hold such shares of Class A Common Stock (in their capacity as such) that are present by virtual attendance or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote thereon. This means that the nominee for the Class A Director who receives the greatest number of votes cast “For” by such holders will be elected as the Class A Director. The remaining five directors will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast by the holders of shares of our Class A Common Stock, Class C Common Stock and Class D Common Stock (voting together as a single class), present by virtual attendance or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote thereon. This means that the nominees (other than the nominee for Class A Director) who receive the greatest number of votes cast “For” by such holders will be elected as directors up to the maximum number of directors (excluding the Class A Director) to be chosen at the Annual Meeting (i.e., five directors).

Only votes “For” will affect the outcome. Any shares not voted “For” a particular director (whether as a result of a direction to withhold or a broker non-vote) will not be counted in such director’s favor.

To be approved, Proposal No. 2, ratification of the selection of Baker Tilly US, LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026, must receive “For” votes from the holders of a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of our Class A Common Stock, Class C Common Stock and Class D Common Stock (voting together as a single class) present by virtual attendance or represented by proxy and entitled to vote thereon. If you “Abstain” from voting on this proposal, it will have the same effect as an “Against” vote on this proposal.

How many shares must be present to hold the Annual Meeting?

A quorum of stockholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A quorum will be present if stockholders holding at least a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares entitled to vote are present at the Annual Meeting online or represented by proxy. The inspector of elections appointed for the Annual Meeting will determine whether or not a quorum is present.

Your shares will be counted towards the quorum only if you submit a valid proxy (or one is submitted on your behalf by your broker, bank or other agent) or if you vote online at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted towards the quorum requirement. If there is no quorum, the holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares present at the Annual Meeting by virtual attendance or represented by proxy may adjourn the Annual Meeting to another date.

Table of Contents

How can I find out the results of the voting at the Annual Meeting?

PROPOSAL NO. 1 — ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Our business and affairs are managed under the direction of our Board of Directors. The Board of Directors presently has six members, four of whom are deemed “independent” under the SEC rules and listing standards of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”). Vacancies on the Board of Directors may be filled only by persons elected by a majority of the remaining directors or by a sole remaining director. Upon the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee”), our Board of Directors has nominated the six director nominees listed below for election at the Annual Meeting. Each of the director nominees currently serves on the Board of Directors. The current term of all directors will expire at the Annual Meeting when their successors are elected, and the Board of Directors has nominated each of these individuals for a new one-year term that will expire at the 2027 Annual Meeting of Stockholders when their successors are elected.

The Class A Director will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast in respect of the shares of our Class A Common Stock by the stockholders that hold such shares of Class A Common Stock (in their capacity as such) that are present by virtual attendance or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote thereon. This means that the nominee for the Class A Director who receives the greatest number of votes cast “For” by such holders will be elected as the Class A Director. The remaining five directors will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast by the holders of shares of our Class A Common Stock, Class C Common Stock and Class D Common Stock (voting together as a single class), present by virtual attendance or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote thereon. This means that the nominees (other than the nominee for Class A Director) who receive the greatest number of votes cast “For” by such holders will be elected as directors up to the maximum number of directors (excluding the Class A Director) to be chosen at the Annual Meeting (i.e., five directors). Shares represented by executed proxies will be voted, if authority to do so is not withheld, for the election of each of the nominees named below. If the nominee becomes unavailable for election as a result of an unexpected occurrence, shares that would have been voted for that nominee will instead be voted for the election of a substitute nominee proposed by the Board of Directors. Each person nominated for election has consented to being named as a nominee in this Proxy Statement and has agreed to serve if elected. We have no reason to believe that any nominee will be unable to serve if elected.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee believes that all directors must, at a minimum, meet the criteria set forth in the Company’s Code of Conduct and Ethics and the Corporate Governance Guidelines, which specify, among other things, that the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider criteria such as independence, diversity, age, skills, and experience in the context of the needs of the Board of Directors. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also will consider a combination of factors for each director, including (a) the nominee’s ability to represent all stockholders without a conflict of interest, (b) the nominee’s ability to work in and promote a productive environment, (c) whether the nominee has sufficient time and willingness to fulfill the substantial duties and responsibilities of a director, (d) whether the nominee has demonstrated the high level of character, ethics and integrity expected by the Company, (e) whether the nominee possesses the broad professional and leadership experience and skills necessary to effectively respond to the complex issues encountered by a publicly-traded company, and (f) the nominee’s ability to apply sound and independent business judgment. The following is a brief biography of the nominees for election at the Annual Meeting.

As a result of his success, Mr. Pavlovski became a finalist for the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year in 2010.

Ms. Biber received her J.D. from Harvard Law School and a B.A. from George Washington University. We believe that Ms. Biber’s extensive legal and technology experience qualifies her to serve as a member of our Board of Directors.

Paul Cappuccio, age 64, has served as a member of our Board of Directors since September 2022 and served as a member of the board of directors of Legacy Rumble from January 2021 through September 2022.

We believe that Mr. Cappuccio’s experience as a leader in the legal, media and entertainment, and technology industries, as well as his prior service on multiple public company boards, qualifies him to serve as a member of our Board of Directors.

Phil Evershed, age 65, has served as a member of our Board of Directors since March 2025. Mr. Evershed has been a Managing Partner at PointNorth Capital, an advisory and investment management company, since 2015.

Mr. Evershed received a Master of Arts in Economics from the University of Toronto in 1985 and Honours Bachelor of Arts at the School of Business and Economics from Wilfrid Laurier University in 1983.

Mr. Naumoff is Chairman Emeritus and Founding Partner of Taskforce BPO, a business process outsourcing service, and he previously served as the CEO and Chairman of the Board of Taskforce, one of the fastest-growing companies in Southeast Europe from July 2017 to January 2022.

INFORMATION REGARDING THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Family Relationships

There are no family relationships among any of our directors or executive officers.

Controlled Company

For purposes of the Nasdaq Listing Rules, we are a “controlled company.” Under the Nasdaq rules, controlled companies are companies of which more than 50% of the voting power for the election of directors is held by an individual, a group, or another company. Chris Pavlovski owns approximately 83% of the outstanding voting power, on a fully diluted basis, for the election of directors. As a “controlled company,” we are exempt from the requirement that a majority of the Board of Directors be independent.

Director Independence

Our common stock is listed on Nasdaq. As required under Nasdaq listing standards (other than with respect to a “controlled company,” which our company is), a majority of the members of a listed company’s board of directors must qualify as “independent,” as affirmatively determined by the board of directors. In addition, the Nasdaq listing standards require that, subject to specified exceptions, each member of a listed company’s audit, compensation, and nominating and corporate governance committees be “independent.” Our Board of Directors consults with our counsel to ensure that the Board of Directors’ determinations are consistent with relevant securities and other laws and regulations regarding the definition of “independent,” including those set forth in pertinent listing standards of Nasdaq, as in effect from time to time.

The Board of Directors has reviewed the independence of each director. Based on information provided by each director concerning her or his background, employment and affiliations, the Board of Directors affirmatively determined that none of the directors has any relationships that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director and that each of the directors, other than Mr. Pavlovski and Mr. Milnes, is “independent” as that term is defined under the Nasdaq listing standards.

Board of Directors Leadership Structure

Our Bylaws and Corporate Governance Guidelines provide our Board of Directors with flexibility to combine or separate the positions of Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer in accordance with its determination that utilizing one or the other structure would be in the best interests of our Company. Mr. Pavlovski currently serves in a combined role of Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer.

Our Board of Directors exercises its judgment in combining or separating the roles of Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer as it deems appropriate in light of prevailing circumstances. The Board of Directors will continue to exercise its judgment on an ongoing basis to determine the optimal leadership structure that the Board of Directors believes will provide effective leadership, oversight and direction, while optimizing the functioning of both the Board of Directors and management and facilitating effective communication between the two. The Board of Directors has concluded that the current structure provides a well-functioning and effective balance between strong Company leadership and appropriate safeguards and oversight by independent directors. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that an independent “lead director” will be selected from among the independent directors when the Chairperson of the Board is not an independent director to preside over executive sessions among non-management directors, which are to be held at least annually. Our Board of Directors has designated Jerry Naumoff as the independent “lead director.”

Role of the Board of Directors in Risk Oversight

One of the key functions of the Board of Directors is the informed oversight of our risk management process. The Board of Directors does not have a standing risk management committee, but rather administers this oversight function directly through the Board of Directors as a whole, as well as through various standing committees of the Board of Directors that address risks inherent in their respective areas of oversight. In particular, the Board of Directors is responsible for reviewing the major risks facing our company and the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Audit Committee”) has the responsibility to review and discuss with management and the independent auditor any significant risks or exposures and our company’s policies and processes with respect to risk assessment and risk management. The Audit Committee also monitors compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”) also assesses and monitors whether our compensation plans, policies and programs comply with applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

Meetings of the Board of Directors and Its Committees

The Board of Directors met twenty-four times, the Audit Committee met eight times, the Compensation Committee met seven times, and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee met two times during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. During the year ended December 31, 2025, each director attended 75% or more of the aggregate number of meetings of the Board of Directors and of the committees on which he or she served.

We expect our director nominees to attend the Annual Meeting.

Information Regarding Committees of the Board of Directors

The Board of Directors has established standing committees in connection with the discharge of its responsibilities. These committees include an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee and a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Pursuant to our Bylaws, the Board of Directors may establish such other committees as may be permitted by law. The following table provides current membership information for each of these Board of Directors committees:

• market information, analysis, and other advice relating to executive compensation

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

The members of our nominating committee consist of Jerry Naumoff and Katie Biber. Jerry Naumoff serves as the chairman of the committee. The Nasdaq Listing Rules require that the nominating committee of a listed company (other than that of a “controlled company,” which our company is) be composed solely of independent directors, and each of Jerry Naumoff and Katie Biber qualifies as an independent director under applicable rules.

The functions of this committee include:

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider director candidates recommended by stockholders, so long as the recommendations comply with our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws and all applicable laws, rules and regulations. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee does not intend to alter the manner in which it evaluates candidates based on whether the candidate was recommended by a stockholder. Stockholders who wish to recommend individuals for consideration by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee to become nominees for election to the Board of Directors may do so by providing timely notice in writing to our Corporate Secretary at c/o Rumble Inc., 444 Gulf of Mexico Drive, Longboat Key, FL 34228.

Any amendments to the Code of Conduct or any waivers of its requirements will be disclosed on our website to the extent required by applicable rules and exchange requirements.

Corporate Governance Guidelines

Our Board of Directors has adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines to ensure that the Board of Directors will have the necessary authority and practices in place to review and evaluate our business operations as needed and to make decisions that are independent of our management. The guidelines are also intended to align the interests of directors and management with those of our stockholders. The Corporate Governance Guidelines set forth the practices the Board of Directors intends to follow with respect to, among other things, director qualifications, board meetings and involvement of senior management, Chief Executive Officer performance evaluation and succession planning, and board committees. The Corporate Governance Guidelines are available on our investor relations website at investors.rumble.com.

Insider Trading Policy

Our Board of Directors has adopted an insider trading policy that applies to our employees, directors, and certain consultants. This policy prohibits, among other things, trading of the company securities during specified blackout periods and engaging in short sales of company securities.

Hedging, Pledging and Other Special Transactions

Pursuant to our insider trading policy, we discourage our employees, directors and officers from engaging in certain transactions, including the placing of standing or limit orders on company securities as well as engaging in transactions in put options, call options or similar derivative securities that are traded on an exchange or in any other organized market. If a person subject to the policy determines that he or she must engage in such a transaction, the transaction must comply with our pre-clearance and blackout processes. Our directors, officers and other employees are generally not prohibited from engaging in hedging or pledging transactions involving company securities.

PROPOSAL NO. 2 — RATIFICATION OF SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Baker Tilly US, LLP (“Baker Tilly”) currently serves as our independent registered public accounting firm. After consideration of Baker Tilly’s qualifications and past performance, the Audit Committee has selected, and the Board of Directors ratified the selection of Baker Tilly as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026. The Board of Directors has directed that management submit the selection of Baker Tilly for ratification by our stockholders at the Annual Meeting. Representatives of Baker Tilly are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting. They will have an opportunity to make a statement if they so desire and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

Neither our Bylaws nor other governing documents or law requires stockholder ratification of the selection of Baker Tilly as our independent registered public accounting firm. However, the Audit Committee has opted to submit the selection of Baker Tilly to our stockholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate practice. If our stockholders fail to ratify the selection, the Audit Committee will reconsider whether or not to retain Baker Tilly. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee or the Board of Directors, in their discretion, may direct the appointment of different independent auditors at any time during our fiscal year if they determine that such a change would be in the best interests of Rumble and its stockholders.

CHANGE IN INDEPENDENT REGISTERED ACCOUNTING FIRM

As previously disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 6, 2025, on June 3, 2025, the Company was notified that Moss Adams LLP (“Moss Adams”), the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, merged with Baker Tilly effective on the same date. The combined audit practices operate as Baker Tilly. In connection with the merger, Moss Adams resigned as the auditors of the Company, and the Audit Committee approved the appointment of Baker Tilly as the successor to Moss Adams as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. Moss Adams had served as the Company’s auditor since August 2023.

The audit reports of Moss Adams on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, and for each of the two-years in the period ended December 31, 2024, did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor were such audit reports qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the subsequent interim period through June 3, 2025, there were no (a) disagreements with Moss Adams on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to Moss Adams’ satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its reports on the Company’s financial statements, or (b) reportable events requiring disclosure pursuant to Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the subsequent interim period through June 3, 2025, neither the Company, nor anyone on its behalf, consulted with Baker Tilly regarding: (i) either the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a “disagreement,” as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions to that item, or a “reportable event,” as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

We provided Moss Adams with a copy of the foregoing disclosures and received a letter, dated June 3, 2025, from Moss Adams addressed to the SEC stating that it agreed with the statements made by us set forth above. A copy of such letter was filed with the SEC as Exhibit 16.1 to our Current Report on Form 8-K on June 6, 2025.

PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES

The following table summarizes the fees for services rendered by Baker Tilly (or Moss Adams prior to June 3, 2025) for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

As an emerging growth company and a smaller reporting company, we are exempt from the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and as a result, our audit fees are significantly lower than if we were required to provide an auditor attestation under Section 404(b). We will become subject to the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026, which will require us to incur significant additional costs and to reassess our required audit services for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026 with our independent registered public accounting firm.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The Audit Committee is a committee of the Board of Directors consisting solely of independent directors as required by the Nasdaq listing standards and the rules and regulations of the SEC. The primary role of the Audit Committee is to assist the Board of Directors in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities by reviewing the financial information proposed to be provided to stockholders and others, the adequacy of the system of internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures established by management and the Board of Directors, and the audit process and the independent registered public accounting firm’s qualifications, independence and performance.

Management has primary responsibility for the financial statements and is responsible for establishing and maintaining the Company’s system of internal controls over the preparation of the Company’s financial statements. The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, Baker Tilly US, LLP, is responsible for performing an audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) and issuing an opinion on the financial statements. The Audit Committee meets periodically with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, with and without management present, to review the adequacy of the Company’s internal controls, financial reporting practices, and audit process.

In the performance of its oversight function, the Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 with management and Baker Tilly US, LLP. The Audit Committee has discussed with Baker Tilly US, LLP the matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the PCAOB and SEC. The Audit Committee has also received the written disclosures and the letter from Baker Tilly US, LLP required by the applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding Baker Tilly US, LLP’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence and has discussed with Baker Tilly US, LLP its independence.

Based on the foregoing, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited financial statements be included in Rumble’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, which was filed with the SEC.

Respectfully submitted by the members of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors:

Phil Evershed (Chair)

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

Determination of Beneficial Ownership

The following table sets forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of shares of our different classes of voting securities (i.e., Class A Common Stock, Class C Common Stock and Class D Common Stock), as of March 30, 2026, by:

• each person known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our common stock;

• each of our directors and nominees for director;

• each of our executive officers; and

• all of our executive officers and directors as a group.

Beneficial ownership is determined according to the rules of the SEC, which generally provide that a person has beneficial ownership of a security if he, she or it possesses sole or shared voting or investment power over that security, including Company restricted stock units (“RSUs”), Company stock options (“Company Options”) and warrants that are currently vested or exercisable or vested or exercisable within 60 days. For example, in the event a holder of Company Options has the right to exercise such Company Options within 60 days, such underlying shares are reflected in such holder’s beneficial ownership in both the numerator and the denominator, but not in the denominator for other unaffiliated holders, in accordance with the rules of the SEC. In addition, such securities held by all of Rumble’s directors and executive officers are included in both the numerator and denominator for purposes of determining the percentage share ownership held by the directors and executive officers, calculated as a group. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in order to avoid a distorted and potentially misleading presentation of percentage share ownership by a holder, all shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exchange of any issued and outstanding exchangeable shares of the Company’s subsidiary 1000045728 Ontario Inc. (“ExchangeCo Shares”) (together with all issued and outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and ExchangeCo Shares subject to escrow restrictions under the Business Combination Agreement) are included in the denominator for all holders. In accordance with the foregoing methodology, the determination of the percentage of beneficial ownership in the below presentation is based on 339,439,486 shares of Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding as of March 30, 2026 (which number is inclusive of shares referenced in the preceding sentence) and the calculation described in footnote (5) in the beneficial ownership table below. Unless otherwise noted, the business address of each of the following individuals is c/o Rumble Inc., 444 Gulf of Mexico Drive, Longboat Key, FL 34228.

Explanation of Voting Rights

As noted above, the Company has three classes of voting securities outstanding: Class A Common Stock, Class C Common Stock and Class D Common Stock:

• Each share of Class A Common Stock, which is listed and traded on the Nasdaq Global Market, is entitled to one vote per share.

• Each share of non-economic, voting Class C Common Stock, which is issued in tandem with each ExchangeCo Share(1), is entitled to one vote per share.

• Each share of non-economic, voting Class D Common Stock, which is held by Chris Pavlovski, our Chairman and CEO, is entitled to 11.2663 votes per share.

____________

(1) The Company views each ExchangeCo Share and its corresponding share of Class C Common Stock as one unit of account that is economically similar to a share of Class A Common Stock. At the time an ExchangeCo Share is exchanged by the holder, the Company will issue one share of Class A Common Stock and the ExchangeCo Share and corresponding Class C Common Stock are cancelled. The ExchangeCo Share and the related share of Class C Common Stock cannot be separated.

Table of Contents

Based on the foregoing, as of March 30, 2026, (i) we had 1,418,650,981 total votes outstanding (which excludes shares issuable upon the exercise of Company Options and warrants and settlement of RSUs, which do not have the right to vote unless and until they are exercised or settled, as applicable) and (ii) our executive officers and directors as a group (including Mr. Pavlovski) held a total of 1,201,131,868 votes (which excludes shares issuable upon the exercise of Company Options and warrants and settlement of RSUs, which do not have the right to vote unless and until they are exercised or settled, as applicable) out of the total 1,418,650,981 votes outstanding, or approximately 85%. The 1,201,131,868 votes consist of (i) 1,079,211,495 votes from the shares of Class D Common Stock held by Chris Pavlovski, (ii) 121,364,842 votes from the shares of Class C Common Stock held by our executive officers and directors as a group and (iii) 555,530 votes from the shares of Class A Common Stock held by our executive officers and directors as a group.

Explanation of Shares Outstanding

As noted above, the percentage of beneficial ownership in the presentation below is based on 339,439,486 shares of Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding as of March 30, 2026, which number is determined for purposes of this presentation as described in the paragraph entitled “Determination of Beneficial Ownership” above.

** This table, which is presented as of March 30, 2026, includes Brandon Alexandroff, who stepped down as Chief Financial Officer on March 31, 2026. Mike Masci, who was appointed as Chief Financial Officer on March 31, 2026, did not beneficially own any shares or other securities of Rumble as of such date.

(1) Consists of shares of Class A Common Stock and RSUs that are vested or will vest within 60 days.

(2) ExchangeCo Shares are exchangeable on a one-for-one basis for shares of Class A Common Stock. Each ExchangeCo Share is issued in tandem with one share of non-economic, voting Class C Common Stock; therefore, the ownership of ExchangeCo Shares presented in this table is identical to the ownership of Class C Common Stock set forth in the table appearing below.

(3) Consists of shares of Class A Common Stock underlying Company Options that are vested or will vest within 60 days.

(4) The Company has two other classes of equity securities outstanding, Class C Common Stock and Class D Common Stock, the beneficial ownership of which is set forth in the table below. Both Class C Common Stock and Class D Common Stock are non-economic, voting shares that are issued solely for voting purposes. Each holder of ExchangeCo Shares was issued one “tandem” share of Class C Common Stock, which serves to provide the holder thereof with the same voting rights at the Company as one share of Class A Common Stock. The Company views each ExchangeCo Share and its corresponding share of Class C Common Stock as one unit of account that is economically similar to a share of Class A Common Stock. The Company issued shares of Class D Common Stock to Christopher Pavlovski to provide Mr. Pavlovski with high-vote stock, with each share carrying 11.2663 votes per share. The percentage of voting power is based on the total number of shares beneficially owned by each holder, and taking into account the shares of high-vote Class D Common Stock held by Christopher Pavlovski.

(5) The percentage of beneficial ownership of Class A Common Stock as to any person or group of persons is calculated by dividing (i) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock beneficially owned by such person or group of persons (including the number of shares of Class A Common Stock as to which such person or group of persons has the right to acquire within 60 days of March 30, 2026), by (ii) the sum of (A) 339,439,486 shares of Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding as of March 30, 2026 (which number is determined as described in the paragraph entitled “Determination of Beneficial Ownership” preceding this table) plus (B) the number of shares as to which such person or group of persons has the right to acquire pursuant to Company Options and RSUs within 60 days of March 30, 2026. Consequently, the denominator for calculating beneficial ownership percentages may be different for each person or group of persons in the table.

(6) Includes (i) 95,045,969 ExchangeCo Shares, of which 34,858,165 ExchangeCo Shares are subject to escrow restrictions pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement and (ii) 34,959,921 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of Company Options, of which 11,335,655 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Company Options are subject to escrow restrictions pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement. Excludes (i) 95,045,969 shares of Class C Common Stock, which are issued in tandem with each ExchangeCo Share, with each such share of Class C Common Stock intended to give the holder thereof the same voting rights as one share of Class A Common Stock, but are otherwise non-economic and (ii) 95,791,120 shares of Class D Common Stock, with each such share of Class D Common Stock intended to give Mr. Pavlovski high vote stock, but are otherwise non-economic, with each share carrying 11.2663 votes per share.

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups (“JOBS”) Act. As an emerging growth company, we are exempt from certain requirements related to executive compensation, including the requirements to hold a nonbinding advisory stockholder vote on named executive officer compensation, to provide information relating to the ratio of the annual total compensation of our chief executive officer to the median of the annual total compensation of all of our employees (other than our chief executive officer), and to provide information relating to the relationship between the executive compensation actually paid to our named executive officers (“NEOs”) and our financial performance, each as required by the Investor Protection and Securities Reform Act of 2010, which is part of the Dodd-Frank Act.

Processes and Procedures for Compensation Decisions

Our compensation program is designed to:

• attract, incentivize, and retain employees at the executive level who contribute to our long-term success;

• provide compensation packages to our executives that are fair and competitive, and that reward the achievement of our business objectives; and

• effectively align our executives’ interests with those of our stockholders by focusing on long-term equity incentives that correlate with the creation of long-term value for our stockholders.

Under its charter, our Compensation Committee has the right to retain or obtain the advice of compensation consultants, independent legal counsel and other advisers. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, our Compensation Committee retained Mercer to provide the committee with market information, analysis, and other advice relating to executive compensation on an ongoing basis. Mercer also assisted in developing an updated group of peer companies to help us determine the appropriate level of overall compensation for our executive officers and non-employee directors, as well as to assess each separate element of executive officer and non-employee director compensation, with a goal of ensuring that the compensation we offer to our executive officers and non-employee directors is competitive, fair, and appropriately structured. Mercer does not provide any non-compensation consulting-related services to us. Mercer is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc.

Arrangements with Named Executive Officers

We have entered into employment agreements with each of our NEOs, which are summarized below.

Chris Pavlovski

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, we entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Pavlovski in his capacity as Chief Executive Officer. The employment agreement provides for an indefinite term of employment, during which time Mr. Pavlovski is entitled to an annual base salary of $1,000,000; an annual bonus with a target of 50% of his then annual salary, payable subject to Mr. Pavlovski’s continued employment through the payment date; a one-time cash bonus of $750,000 payable upon the closing of the Business Combination; a one-time grant of 1,100,000 restricted shares of Class A Common Stock (which were granted as RSUs in lieu of restricted shares), which vested in substantially equal annual installments for three years following the closing of the Business Combination, subject to Mr. Pavlovski’s continued employment through each vesting date; and an annual equity grant with a value of up to $4,000,000 during his employment. The employment agreement also provides that Mr. Pavlovski will be eligible to participate in all employee benefit plans, programs and arrangements made available to our employees or, if no such plans exist, Mr. Pavlovski will receive reimbursement of medical and dental costs for himself, his spouse and dependents, until such time that we have medical and dental insurance plans in place. Additionally, during the term of employment, Mr. Pavlovski is entitled to long-term disability insurance coverage equal to at least 80% of his annual salary, regardless of whether such benefit is offered to other similarly situated executives and at no expense to him. The employment agreement contains an indefinite non-disparage provision, customary confidentiality and invention assignment covenants, as well as non-competition and employee and customer non-solicitation covenants that apply during the term of employment and for a period of one year thereafter. If Mr. Pavlovski is terminated without “cause” or due to his resignation for “good reason” (each as defined in Mr. Pavlovski’s employment agreement), subject to his execution and non-revocation of a general release of claims in favor of us and our affiliates and his continued compliance with the restrictive covenants in the employment agreement, he will be entitled to severance consisting of (i) any unpaid annual bonus in respect of any completed performance period that has ended prior to the date of such termination or pro rata portion thereof, which amount will be paid at such time annual bonuses are paid to our other senior executives, and (ii) (x) payment of his regular wages in lieu of the minimum amount of working notice of termination prescribed by the Ontario Employment Standards Act, 2000 (“ESA”), (y) statutory severance pay, if any, prescribed by the ESA, and (z) any other minimum statutory entitlement that may be payable to Mr. Pavlovski under the ESA, without duplication. Additionally, on September 16, 2022, Mr. Pavlovski entered into an amendment to the employment agreement pursuant to which Mr. Pavlovski’s salary will be paid in Canadian dollars, instead of U.S. dollars. The amendment to the Employment Agreement does not alter, amend or supersede any other terms of the employment agreement.

Brandon Alexandroff and Wojciech Hlibowicki

In November 2022, we entered into an employment agreement with each of Brandon Alexandroff and Wojciech Hlibowicki. Pursuant to the agreement, each respective NEO is entitled to an initial annual base salary of CDN$532,731 per year, payable in Canadian dollars, and is eligible to earn an annual bonus based upon the achievement of performance targets established for the applicable calendar year, with a target annual bonus equal to 50% of base salary and a maximum annual bonus equal to 100% of base salary.

Pursuant to the agreement, if the respective NEO’s employment is terminated either (x) by the Company without “cause” or (y) by such NEO for “good reason”, subject to his execution of a general release of claims in favor of the Company and its affiliates and compliance with any restrictive covenants to which the respective NEO is subject in favor of the Company and its affiliates, such NEO will be entitled to, in addition to any payments required by the ESA, (i) any unpaid annual bonus in respect of any completed

fiscal year that has ended on or before the termination date; (ii) a prorated target annual bonus for the calendar year in which such termination occurs; (iii) continued participation in the Company’s health and dental plans for 12 months (or such longer time as required by the ESA); (iv) an amount equal to such NEO’s annual base salary less any amounts paid or payable to the NEO during any ESA required notice period (or pay in lieu of notice), payable in either a lump sum or installments in the Company’s sole discretion; (v) an amount equal to the NEO’s target annual bonus for the year of termination, payable during the 12-month period following termination in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practices; and (vi) continued vesting during the 12-month period following termination of any time-based equity awards that are outstanding and unvested as of such termination.

Mr. Alexandroff resigned as Chief Financial Officer of the Company, effective March 31, 2026.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change of Control

None of our NEOs is entitled to any potential payments or benefits in connection with a termination of their employment or a change in control of the Company, other than as described above set forth in their employment agreements.

Base Salary

Base salaries are intended to provide a level of compensation sufficient to attract and retain an effective management team when considered in combination with the other components of the executive compensation program. In general, we seek to provide a base salary level designed to reflect each NEO’s scope of responsibility and accountability.

Bonus Compensation

Our management team is eligible for short-term incentive compensation through the STIP. Cash incentives hold our management team accountable, reward them based on actual business results and help create a “pay for performance” culture. Our STIP provides cash incentive award opportunities for the achievement of performance goals established by the Compensation Committee at the beginning of the fiscal year. Payouts to participants vary based on performance as compared to the target performance goals established by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee and the CEO also retain discretion to adjust payouts for any factors that are deemed appropriate. We awarded bonuses in the amount of $229,239 to Mr. Pavlovski, $85,765 to each of Mr. Alexandroff and Mr. Hlibowicki pursuant to the STIP for their service in 2025.

Long-Term Incentive Compensation

In connection with the Business Combination, we adopted and approved the Rumble Inc. 2022 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2022 Plan”) under which the Company is permitted to grant equity-based awards, including RSUs and Company Options. Pursuant to the 2022 Plan for the year 2025, on April 3, 2025, we granted (i) a Company Option to purchase 392,785 shares of common stock with a grant date fair value of $3,020,517 to Mr. Pavlovski and a Company Option to purchase 146,952 shares of common stock with a grant date fair value of $1,130,061 to each of Messrs. Alexandroff and Hlibowicki; and (ii) 80,701 time-based RSUs with a grant date fair value of $620,591 to Mr. Pavlovski and 30,192 time-based RSUs with a grant date fair value of $232,176 to each of Messrs. Alexandroff and Hlibowicki. Awards granted to our NEOs under the 2022 Plan generally vest in four equal annual installments of the grant date.

In connection with the Business Combination, we assumed the Rumble Inc. Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan (the “Prior Plan”), which continues to govern the terms and conditions of the outstanding options previously granted under the Prior Plan, and all options outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Business Combination were converted into options to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock in connection therewith.

Table of Contents

The Rumble Inc. 2024 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2024 ESPP”) was approved by stockholders on June 14, 2024 to allow the Company to provide its employees and employees of certain designated subsidiaries and affiliates an opportunity to obtain a proprietary interest in the continued growth and prosperity of the Company through ownership of its shares of common stock. For employees of participating affiliates in countries outside of the United States, the 2024 ESPP is effectuated via separate offerings under one or more sub-plans of the 2024 ESPP in order to achieve tax, employment, securities law or other purposes and objectives, and to conform the terms of the sub-plans with the laws and requirements of such countries. Subject to adjustment for certain changes in recapitalization or reorganization, the maximum aggregate number of the Company’s shares of common stock that may be issued under the 2024 ESPP is 1,811,911 shares. The 2024 ESPP became effective as of the first available offering date, which was on March 26, 2024.

Nonqualified Deferred Compensation

Our NEOs did not participate in, or earn any benefits under, any nonqualified deferred compensation plan sponsored by Rumble during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. Our Board of Directors may elect to provide our NEOs and other employees with nonqualified deferred compensation benefits in the future if it determines that doing so is in our best interests.

Pension Benefits

Our NEOs did not participate in, or otherwise receive any benefits under, any pension or retirement plan sponsored by Rumble during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.

Tax Gross-Ups

With the exception of reimbursements for foreign tax preparation for Mr. Pavlovski, we did not make gross-up payments to cover the personal income taxes of our NEOs that pertained to any of the compensation, perquisites or personal benefits paid or provided by us.

Insurance Premiums

The Company paid for the portion of an insurance policy premium for the benefit of certain executive officers, including Mr. Alexandroff and Mr. Hlibowicki, as set forth in the table above.

Health and Welfare Benefits

We provide benefits to our NEOs on the same basis as provided to all of our employees, including health, dental and vision insurance; and life and disability insurance. We do not maintain any executive-specific benefit or perquisite programs for our NEOs, with the exception of reimbursements for foreign tax preparation for Mr. Pavlovski.

Rule 10b5-1 Plans

Our directors and executive officers may adopt written plans, known as Rule 10b5-1 plans, in which they will contract with a broker to buy or sell shares of common stock on a periodic basis. Under a Rule 10b5-1 plan, a broker executes trades pursuant to parameters established by the director or executive officer when entering into the plan, without further direction from them. The director or executive officer may amend a Rule 10b5-1 plan in some circumstances and may terminate a plan at any time. Our directors and executive officers may also buy or sell additional shares outside of a Rule 10b5-1 plan when they are not in possession of material nonpublic information, subject to compliance with the terms of our insider trading policy.

(1) Unless otherwise noted, the awards vest in four equal annual installments beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date.

(2) The market value of unvested shares is calculated by multiplying the number of unvested shares by the closing market price of our common stock on NASDAQ on December 31, 2025, the last trading day of the year, which was $6.32 per share.

Table of Contents

(3) The awards were issued pursuant to the Prior Plan and vested in full on September 1, 2020. The number of options was determined after applying the exchange ratio pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, such that for each option that was outstanding prior to the effective date of the Business Combination Agreement, such option was converted into a new option to purchase (i) a number of Class A Common Stock of the Company equal to the product (rounded down to the nearest whole number) of (x) the number of shares originally underlying such option, and (y) 16.474 (the “Option Exchange Ratio” and the Class A Common Stock of the Company described in this clause (i), being the “Base Option Shares”), and (ii) and for each Base Option Share, a fraction of a Class A Common Stock of the Company equal to 0.4915 of a share (the shares described in this clause (ii), the “Tandem Option Earnout Shares”). The aggregate exercise price per Base Option Share, together with the related fraction of the Tandem Option Earnout Share, is equal to (A) the exercise price originally applicable to the option, divided by (B) the Option Exchange Ratio (rounded up to the nearest whole cent).

(4) Mr. Alexandroff resigned as Chief Financial Officer as of March 31, 2026.

(1) Reflects shares available for issuance under (a) the 2022 Plan and (b) the 2024 ESPP. Under the 2024 ESPP, qualifying employees may purchase shares of common stock at a discount to the market value. As of December 31, 2025, 32,445,696 shares of common stock remained available for grant under the 2022 Plan and 1,787,804 shares of Common Stock remained available for issuance under the 2024 ESPP.

(2) The weighted-average exercise price does not reflect the shares that will be issued in connection with the settlement of RSUs or purchase rights under the 2024 ESPP because RSUs and purchase rights have no exercise price.

(3) Consists of 32,445,696 shares available for issuance under our 2022 Plan and 1,787,804 shares available under the 2024 ESPP, less the number of shares underlying outstanding awards under such plans. The 2022 Plan provides that the total number of shares of our common stock reserved for issuance thereunder will automatically increase (i) upon the occurrence of certain events under the Business Combination Agreement and (ii) on January 1 of each year for a period of ten years commencing on January 1, 2023 and ending on January 1, 2032, in an amount equal to 5% of the total number of shares of common stock outstanding on January 1 of the applicable year of increase, or such lesser number of shares of common stock as determined by our Board of Directors. The 2024 ESPP provides that the total number of shares of our common stock reserved for issuance thereunder will automatically increase on the first day of each fiscal year by a number of shares of common stock equal to the lesser of (i) the positive difference between (x) 1% of our outstanding shares of common stock on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year, and (y) the plan share reserve on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year, and (ii) such lesser number of shares of common stock as determined by our Board of Directors. Accordingly, on January 1, 2026, the number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the 2022 Plan and the 2024 ESPP automatically increased pursuant to these provisions.

(4) The shares underlying options granted under the Prior Plan, which plan and options were assumed by us in connection with the Business Combination, are not reflected. Following the closing of the Business Combination, no awards could be granted under the Prior Plan. We assumed 35,313,066 shares underlying outstanding options under the Prior Plan, and the weighted-average exercise price of the options so assumed is $0.14.

Policies and Practices Related to the Grant of Certain Equity Awards Close in Time to the Release of Nonpublic Information

The Company does not maintain a formal policy or guidelines relating to the grant of stock options close in time to the release of material nonpublic information, and we generally grant annual awards of stock options close to the end of the first quarter of each year (other than with respect to off-cycle grants in connection with new hire and promotion-related grants). In the event that the Compensation Committee becomes aware of material nonpublic information prior to granting stock options, the Compensation Committee will take the existence of such information into consideration in determining whether to delay the grant of stock options. For the calendar year ended December 31, 2025, we did not grant awards of stock options to our executive officers within four business days before or one business day after the release of a quarterly report on Form 10-Q, our annual report on Form 10-K or a current report on Form 8-K disclosing material nonpublic information.

Under the amended agreements with Cosmic, Cosmic continues to provide content editing and moderation services, along with other business process outsourcing services, as requested by Rumble. Any intellectual property created by Cosmic pursuant to the terms of the amended agreements has been assigned to Rumble. The amended agreements provide for an initial term of 24 months, subject to automatic renewals for subsequent 12-month terms unless either party provides written notice of non-renewal at least 6 months prior to the expiration of the current term.

Policies and Procedures for Related Person Transactions

Our Board of Directors has adopted a written related person transactions policy that sets forth our policies and procedures regarding the identification, review, consideration and oversight of “related person transactions.” For purposes of our policy only, a “related person transaction” is any transaction, arrangement, or relationship, or any series of similar transactions, arrangements, or relationships, in which we are a participant involving an amount that will or may be expected to exceed $120,000 in any fiscal year, and any related party has or will have a direct or indirect material interest. Under the policy, the related person in question or, in the case of transactions with a holder of more than 5% of any class of our voting securities, an officer with knowledge of a proposed transaction, must notify the General Counsel of the facts and circumstances of the proposed transaction. If the General Counsel determines that the transaction could constitute a related party transaction, the General Counsel will report such transaction, together with a summary of the material facts, to the Audit Committee for consideration at the next regularly scheduled Audit Committee meeting. In considering a related person transaction, our Audit Committee will take several considerations into account, including:

• whether the transaction was undertaken in the ordinary course of business;

• whether the transaction was initiated by the Company or the related party;

• the availability of other sources of comparable products or services;

• whether the transaction is proposed to be, or was, entered into on terms no less favorable to the Company than terms that could have been reached with an unrelated third party;

• the purpose of, and the potential benefits to the Company of, the transaction;

• the approximate dollar value of the amount involved in the transaction, particularly as it relates to the related party; and

• the related party’s interest in the transaction;

Our Audit Committee will approve only those transactions that it determines are fair to us and in our best interests. All of the transactions described above were entered into prior to the adoption of such policy.

HOUSEHOLDING OF PROXY MATERIALS

The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries (such as brokers) to satisfy the delivery requirements for Notices of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials or other Annual Meeting materials with respect to two or more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials or other Annual Meeting materials addressed to those stockholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as “householding,” potentially means extra convenience for stockholders and cost savings for companies.

This year, several brokers with account holders who are our stockholders will be “householding” our proxy materials. A single Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials will be delivered to multiple stockholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected stockholders. Once you have received notice from your broker that they will be “householding” communications to your address, “householding” will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in “householding” and would prefer to receive a separate Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, please notify your broker or notify us by sending a written request to: Attn: Corporate Secretary, Rumble Inc., 444 Gulf of Mexico Drive, Longboat Key, FL 34228. You will be removed from the householding program, after which you will receive an individual copy of the proxy materials promptly.

Stockholders who currently receive multiple copies of the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials at their addresses and would like to request “householding” of their communications should contact their brokers.

OTHER MATTERS

The Board of Directors knows of no other matters that will be presented for consideration at the Annual Meeting. If any other matters are properly brought before the meeting, it is the intention of the persons named in the accompanying proxy to vote on such matters in accordance with their best judgment.

A copy of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 is available free of charge at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Stockholders can also access this Proxy Statement and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 on our investor relations website at investors.rumble.com. A copy of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 is available without charge upon written request to: Corporate Secretary, Rumble Inc., 444 Gulf of Mexico Drive, Longboat Key, FL 34228.
